Time Well Spent

I am still studying the Proverbs 31 Woman and working hard to make some changes in my own life in order to become more of the woman God desires of me. Sometimes it is hard…like the whole rising early thing! But other times, it is easy – like today’s theme of working hard. I got this {she says so humbly}.

“She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night”

~ Proverbs 31:18

You really shouldn’t have wondered, but in case you did, I will tell you that this woman worked hard. Her time was well spent and her energies were focused. We should be no different.

I must admit that I am not perfect here. While I work hard, I have times where I can be found to goof off. Oh, and I am not always the most focused. I could blame it on the whole ADD thing…but I suppose I should take some ownership!

Like most of you, I really do have some time wasters to deal with. I am not a big television watcher, but I could get lost for hours in a book or the blog-o-sphere. I have also found Facebook to be on my list of things to cut down. I took a four week fast and was quite enlightened. I can’t bring myself to give it up completely; after all, Facebook is how I get all my pertinent information! But I can definitely give it less of my time.

I encourage you to take a look at your time wasters and see what you can do to alleviate some of them. Take baby steps friends. Once you get rid of the stuff that weighs you down, you will be free to do the things that bring life. You will find that your time is well spent and your energies are focused.

What things will be on your list?

Keepin’ it Real…D
